Thoughts Wrath, Esch? It's kind of Zombiesh.

There is a better tune called Roseland on the album but no Youtube for it.

Brehs, it's time.

Singles:

Tracklist:

Dreams Come True
Can't Deny My Love
I Can Change
Still Want You
Between Me and You
Lonely Town
Diggin' Up the Heart
Never Get You Right
Untangled Love
The Way It's Always Been

Quick Thoughts:

The front half of the album is clearly stronger than the latter half. Dreams Come True is a hell of a start to the album, from the first beat an uncontrollable smile broke out onto my face and I didn't care who saw it while on the T this morning. In keeping with the happy-go-lucky theme, the highlight for me is (and has been, it seems) Still Want You. Whenever I'm fretting about something and spinning a big ball of stress, I listen to that track and it calms me down every single time.

I Can Change isn't that strong a song, but its chorus packs a damn fine punch. Apparently it samples quite heavily from the 1984 "gay anthem" Smalltown Boy, but I don't hold it against the song like that Verge writer does.

Can't Deny My Love is a good single and a fun song in its own right, but lacks a special something that keeps it from my favorite The Killers/Brandon Flowers singles. Lonely Town is similar, the dark humor in juxtaposing the earnest music and performance with such obviously creepy lyrics is fun enough the first couple lyrics but there's not much substance there for multi-dozen listens.

I haven't listened to much of the rest enough to form an opinion other than it seeming (for now) pretty samey. Diggin' Up the Heart gets big points for its absolutely absurd lyrics and frenetic style. Otherwise, yeah, need to listen to them more.

Overall the album gets a big

from me and I feel it's superior in every way to Flowers' previous solo album, Flamingo.

Dreams come true, dreams come true

Yes they do

Dreams come true

I tried to listen to that Brandon Flowers shit and overall I realized quite quickly it wasn't for me. I'm not a big Killers fan though, and I'm also not too into glam-pop or whatever the fuck that bubblegum genre should be classified under.

Tasty · « **Reply #5596 on:** May 22, 2015, 11:52:26 PM »

Flowers' solo stuff is dancey pop-y stuff. The Killers output is generally way rock-ier (Day & Age not withstanding.) I enjoy both, his voice is great and while his lyrics can be a bit

at times he makes it work (IMO.)

Dem drums and riffs

HiResDes · « **Reply #5597 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:14:01 AM »

Yeah not me cup of tea, I like the type of dance stuff that makes chicks dry fuck you on the dance floor to, not the type of that wouldn't feel out of place in a movie dance sequence populated by prepubescent female factions and cliques doing choreographed line moves.

Tasty · « **Reply #5598 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:20:34 AM »

When I'm on the floor it's all about me and my moves. Bitches leave.

New Disclosure. Much better than "Bang That"

Start reminds me of some R.E.M. Song, just can't remember which one. Probably just the guitar sound.

Seems Nero is moving away from the dubstep and on to future house:
